 I've not actually done it, but /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf has a section
called;

[xdmcp]
Enable=false
HonorIndirect=true
MaxPending=4
MaxPendingIndirect=4
MaxSessions=16
MaxWait=30
MaxWaitIndirect=30
Port=177


 I reckon by changing the Enable line to true, stuff will work. That's a
complete guess though.
